ZOSTEROPS KitHNI, Sp. 11. 



Very similar to 7j. nova'guinete iroui the Arfak Mountains, 

 but the lores and feathers under the white orbital ring are 

 distinctly black instead of yellowish-j^a-een, and the tail is 

 longer. Wing 52-56 (the smaller specimens are probably 

 females, though the sex was not determined in every case), 

 tail about 37 to 40-5 mm. (against 34 to 35 in Z. novce- 

 guinecp) .

 Tring Museum ; collected by Mr. Heinrich Kiihn. 



" I must apologise for employing for this new species a 

 binomial name which does not express its affinities with the 

 closely allied forms. To ascertain the correct second name 

 to be used would entail a careful revision of the genus 

 Zosterops, and for this I have at present no time." 



Mr. C. E. Hellmayr exhibited and described the follow-

" ACCIPITER BICOLOR SCHISTOCHLAMYS, Subsp. 11. 



Adult. Similar to A. h. hicolor, but at once recognised by 

 its much darker schistaceous, instead of white, under- 

 surface. The axillaries and under wing-coverts are also 

 cinereous, narrowly edged with whitish, and not pure white, 

 as in A. h. hicolor (Vieill). Wing 200, tail 157, bill (from 

 base) 22*5 mm. 



Hah. Nanegal, Western Ecuador. Type cJ vii. 98. in 

 Tring Museum ; collected by Messrs. Goodfellow and 

 Hamilton. 



This is the western representative of A. h. hicolor of 

 Guiana and Amazonia. Specimens from Cachabi (N. W. 

 Ecuador), Chiriqui and Panama, agree exactly with the 

 type of A. h. scJnstochlamys, while those found in Bogota- 

 collections are practically identical with skins from British 

 Guiana, Para, and the Orinoco Eegion.
